The Leader in Mobile Phone News and Reviews

Since their release, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8, and Galaxy S8+ have been included in so many deals and promotions that we kind of lost track of them. Still, we have to report about the newest deals involving Samsung’s three phones, as they’re pretty tempting (particularly if you’re interested in a Verizon Note 8), and don’t require trade-ins.

As of this weekend, Best Buy lets you purchase a Verizon Galaxy Note 8 at $300 off. Verizon was already taking $200 off the Note 8 (reflected in reduced monthly payments), but Best …

If you’re planning to buy an Apple iPhone 8 and activate it on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint, Best Buy today has a couple of nice deals that you should definitely check out.

The retailer lets you save $150 on an iPhone 8 64 GB when you’re purchasing it with a monthly installment plan on AT&T or Verizon. Savings aren’t instant, but will be reflected in reduced monthly payments. After 24 months (or up to 30 months on AT&T), you’ll end up paying $549 – instead of $699 – for a brand new iPhone 8 64 GB.

It looks like AT&T has decided to kick it up a notch when it comes to iPhone offerings. The US carrier plans to start selling the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus for more than decent prices.

The folks over at 9to5Mac got word that AT&T will offer prepaid iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus for $344.9 and $444.99, respectively. The deal will be available on AT&T’s $45/month plan, but the price includes the cost of the first month, which reduces the price of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus to $300 and $400.

If the report is accurate, these devices will join the list of prepaid iPhones …

On New Year’s Day 2018, Apple set a record for the most revenue earned by the App Store in one day. Just a few days ago, on January 1st, the App Store brought in $300 million in gross revenue. During the seven days that started on Christmas Day, the App Store took in an amazing $890 million. Since the launch of the store in July 2008, Apple has paid out $86 billion to developers for their share of paid apps and subscriptions purchased through the App Store.

During 2017, developers received $26.5 billion, up 30% on a year-over-year basis. Hit games last year included titles like Animal Crossing: …

One month ago, Verizon kicked off a promotion meant to attract more people into buying Google’s latest flagships, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. Basically, the carried shaved $300 off the smartphones’ MSRP, but only if you purchased them on payment plans.

Initially, the offer was only available at Verizon’s brick and mortar stores, but after less than a week, the carrier posted the deal on its website. Well, believe it or not, the offer is still up and running, and added two more retailers.

For some reason, US carriers have decided not offer any promotions on Apple’s new iPhone X, but the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus were the subjects of some deals several times in the past. Sprint wants to woe more Apple fans and is now offering great deals on both the iPhone 8 and iPhone X.

First off, there’s a BOGO (buy-one-get-one-free) deal on the iPhone 8 and customers don’t even have to purchase the smartphone for the full price. Sprint offers the iPhone 8 on its 18-month Flex installment plan, and if you agree with it, you’ll be getting a second iPhone 8 for free.

With two weeks left until Christmas Day, Verizon is taking $300 off the price of the LG V30. That takes the cost of the phone down to $540. While that is quite a nice chunk of change that you’ll be saving, the deal only runs from today through Wednesday, December 13th. We are talking about a 36% drop in price for a handset that is one of the top models released in the second half of this year.

The deal is similar to many that we are seeing from different stateside carriers. Purchase the phone using an installment plan, and after a couple of bill cycles go by, you’ll start receiving the price …

Four days ago, we told you about Verizon’s new deal for the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL. Without requiring a trade-in, as Verizon demanded in a previous version of the deal, new and existing Big Red customers are able to walk into a nearby Verizon Store and save $300 on the purchase of either new Pixel model. The phones must be bought using Verizon’s device payment plan, and the $300 discount is applied through a bill credit of $12.50 that will show up on your account each month for two years.

While the deal was being offered inside Big Red stores only, that was scheduled to change …

Best Buy is running another promotion on two of Samsung’s flagships, the Galaxy S8 and S8+. They are locked on Verizon, but you can buy them $300 cheaper than the MSRP if you agree with a 2-year agreement.

For a limited time, Verizon Galaxy S8 is just $420 ($17.50/month) at Best Buy. The phone comes in four color variations: Black, Coral Blue, Orchid Gray and Arctic Silver. The slightly bigger Verizon Galaxy S8+ is on sale as well for $516 ($21.50/month) and it’s available in the same color options.

To kick off the upcoming weekend, Verizon has a new deal on the Google Pixel 2 and the Google Pixel 2 XL. For a limited time, when your purchase either model using Verizon’s device payment plan, you can save $300 on either phone. And no trade-in is required! The discount is applied with a $12.50 credit added to your Verizon account each month over 24 months. The maximum purchase allowed is $949.99, which happens to be the price of the 128GB Pixel 2 XL. Dropping the trade-in requirement obviously makes the deal easier for existing and new Big Red customers to take advantage of.
